Bali Mahārāja’s Empowerment and Conquest of Indra’s City
Prelude to Vāmana’s Petition
ततस्तदनुभावेन भुवनत्रयविश्रुताम् । कीर्तिं दिक्षु वितन्वान: स रेज उडुराडिव ॥ ३५ ॥
tatas tad-anubhāvena bhuvana-traya-viśrutām kīrtiṁ dikṣu-vitanvānaḥ sa reja uḍurāḍ iva
Dengan pengaruh upacara yajña itu, kemasyhuran Bali Mahārāja tersebar ke seluruh arah di tiga alam; baginda bersinar pada kedudukannya laksana bulan gemilang di langit.
This verse says that by the potency of one’s noble actions, one’s fame can naturally expand in all directions and become known throughout the three worlds, shining brilliantly like the moon.
Śukadeva Gosvāmī is narrating the events to Mahārāja Parīkṣit.
Focus on sincere, principled action and service; when deeds are aligned with dharma, reputation becomes a byproduct rather than the goal—spreading naturally through consistent character and contribution.
